SAVE THE BUTTONS.
An Excellent Plan for NJ aking Collection
of These Useful Little Articles.

of These Useful Little Articles.
First of all. save the boot buttons and
glove buttons. Many persons whose
dress is otherwise unexceptionable fail
in proper attention to these most es-
sential points.
When pair of boots is discarded,
cut off the buttons. In time there will
be quite collection. If discolored,
they may be restored to their original
blackness by applications of ink or
shoe polish. Let these buttons be kept
in box which shall be accessible to the
whole family, or, better still, let each
member own one. Teach the children
to replace their missing boot buttons
and to do it promptly.
In like manner. when gloves are cast
aside, preserve the buttons. AS they
accumulate. keep them in box by
themselves, and ne yer suffer missing
one to go unreplaced.
We can testify from exp erience that
this plan of making collections of boot
and glove buttons is an excellent one.
BY means of it one need never be found
wanting in these little articles, for the
,bsence of which no particularly with
regard to other details of dress can
atone.
When a garment is to be consigned

ons Often a set of buttons which has
lone duty on one dress will be found to
suit another quite as wei, and indeed
all kinds of buttons can sooner or later

GERMANY's RESOURCES.
Importance of the Empires Agricultural
Mining and Manufacturing Industries.


Importance of the Empires Agricultural
Mining and Manufacturing Industries.
The material resources of Germany
befit great nation. Its area is POS, 427
square miles. which is one eighteenth
part of Europe, and one two-hundred-
iIftieth part of the whole dry land OF
the globe. 1t is less than that of Swe-
den and Norway together, or than that
of Texas, and little more than that OF
France or of Spain.
The extent of the uncultivatable land
is inconsiderable. The arabic land, in
Guiding garden ground and vineyards,
amounts to about one-half of the area.
In general the soil is remarkably well
cultivated. In good seasons the pro
duction has been found sufficient to
meet the native demands. OF the ce-
reals the largest crop is rye; then oats,
wheat and barley. The potato is
largely cultivated, not merely for food
but also for distillation into spirits
The common beet is largely grown in
some sections for the production of SUI
gar, the average product being 600, 000,-
900 pounds annually. The cultivation
of hops is in a llourishing condition in
Southern Germany. They form one of
the standard articles of export. To-
bacco is raised in some districts. The
vine abounds in Southern Germany,
and in the Rhone valley.
The culture of forests is conducted
more scientifically than in any other
country. In many of the States the
ment; but even private owners are re-
stricted by law from destroying their
own trees. There are foresters trained
for the work from their early youth.
| AS soon as one tree is removed, an
| other is substituted. The woodlands
occupy about one-fourth of the entire
country.
In the rural districts, notably in the
Rhine valley, one observes multitudcs
of little villages, often six or seven in
sight at once. The houses are grouped
closely together; and surrounding
the whole are grain fields, vegetable
gardens and vineyards, all cut up into
little patches. One man will own per-
haps dozen little patches of land, in
as many places, the different exposures
being adapted to the raising of various
crops. The women do great part
of the work in the fields, sometimes be-
ginning as early as three o'clock in the
morning. They and the children often
90 barefoot in the summer. while the
"lords of creation wear shoes.
Of all European countries Germany
has the Oldest manufactures. In the
last century it fell behind England and
Belgium; but is in a fair way now to
recover its former position.
Germany abounds in useful minerals
and in consequence takes a high place
among industrial States. The produc
ton falls short, indeed, of that of Eng
land, but bears comparison with tina
of France and of the United States
Germany produces more silver, copper
and zinc than any other European
state. 1t also abounds in coal and iron
having enough of the former to las
two thousand years at the present rat,
of consumption; and has ample supple
of tin, lead and salt.-Bi5hop Cyrus ID

No Authority.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The first comp
troller of the treasury has decided that the
accounting officers of the department have
no authority under the general law, to ad-
just and settle an account for unliquadated
damages against the government. The case
in point was claim under a contract for the
construction Of public building in Buffalo,
N Y, for damages resulting from the non
arrival of the marble within the time speci-
fed in the contract. The alleged damage
consisted Of loss of interest on funds in
vested, insurance, storage on the marble, in
crease in the cost of labor, etc. The comp
troller holds that the contractors only
remedy is in the courts.

NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL.
A FALSE IMPRESSION IN REGARD TO
CIVIL SERVICE RULES.

A Decision as to Whether Two People. Of
One Family Can Hold Office in the
Treasury Department-Cruising in Ca
madam Waters-Washington News.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-Assistant Secre-
tary Thompson of the treasury department,
says a false impression prevails with regard
to that oft-agitated proposition as to
whether or not two members Of one family
shall be allowed to hold office under the gov
ernment. His attention was recently called
to a case in which two sisters we're inter-
ested. They are married, and have separate
families dependent upon them for support
One Of the ladies resides in Baltimore, and
the other in South Carolina, and the ques-
ton was raised whether these ladies could,
under the circumstances, retain their offices
in the treasury department Secretary
Thompson decides that they can, most as
suredly. He says the intention of the ruling
upon the two-of- one-family subject is to pre-
vent fathers SONS and daughters all living
in the same house and eating at the same
table, from occupying clerical positions in
the government service. After the son or
the daughter marries and establishes fam
lily, they cannot be classed as two of the
same family They are, by their marriage
made separate and distinct families. For
instance two brothers might marry and eS-
tablish homes for themselves and families,
and it would be unjust to decide that one OF
the brothers should hold office while the
other brother should not

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH

Under the spreading beechen tree
Tho village smithy stands,
The smith jolly man is he,
Employs couple Of hands,
And the muscles Of his brawny arms
Are strong as two brass bands.
A very splendid broad-cloth coat
That never had spot.
With collar made Of velvet soft
From New York city brought,
And buttons Of the latest style
In truth he hasn't got
But white shirt neatly ironed
AS if TO take to fairs,
Transcendent with the utmost starch
And diamond sets in pairs,
And OF the finest linen made
In fact he never wears.
From dewy morn to thirsty night
You hear his anvil peal
The most outrageous jingIing
That ever made you reel,
Till you could have him taken up
For forging notes OF steel.
This blacksmith, most industrious,
Is very fond Of noise,
And on Sunday goes to church
To hear hiSdaughtersv voice
And finds it great delight to Sit
Amongst his whispering boys.
He wears an honest smuttly face.

Without his trade, and turn to be
The LATEST man alive.
